Nebraska Cornhuskers News: Keisei on Senior Day, coaching clinic, more

The Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball team’s season is winding down on a good note. The Huskers improved to 15-14 over the weekend after winning their fourth straight and it’s quite clear that one of the reasons they’ve managed to go on this kind of a run is Keisei Tominaga.

The Japanese shooter has reached hero status of late and that was most recently demonstrated when Keisei’s parents finally came to see him play for the Huskers for the first time. Is it possible that they’re also going to see him play for the last time in Lincoln?

On Monday, it was announced that Keisei is going to be walking with seniors Sam Griesel and Derrick Walker. It’s possible that means that the fourth year player, who could graduate is doing with Nebraska basketball.

However, it’s not a done deal. Head coach Fred Hoiberg said that nothing has been decided yet and there is still a chance that Tominaga could come back. He’s walking on Senior Day because his parents will still be in town. This is one story that Nebraska basketball fans are going to have to pay some serious attention to in the next few weeks.
